A graph of low carbon sources over the last 20 years. Nuclear 9% (down from 17 in 2000) hydro 14% (very consistent) solar 7 and wind 8 (up from basically zero)

Renewables were 92% of new power added in 2024. Low carbon sources now accounts for 41% of worldwide electricity.

Though, I can’t help but look at this graph and think about how much better it would look if we weren’t retiring nuclear plants so much faster than we’re building them.

The New Authoritarianism This isn’t single-party rule, but it’s not democracy either.

I’ve always found the totalitarianism coming for the US concerns to feel unrealistic, but this article captures very well what I am super concerned may happen now: theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

That, essentially, it stops being safe/rational to participate in an open democracy.
